The logotype of the musical depicts the Hamilton’s silhouette, which points at the sky. He stands on the star with four peaks. Over this star, we can read the white inscription ‘Hamilton, An American Musical’. The entirety of the star and the silhouette is depicted in black, but it’s also often switched according to the background.

Emblem and Symbol

An interesting feature of this logotype is that Hamilton’s silhouette points at the sky. According to the legend, old enemies Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton once met in the duel. Considering this duel as a morally wrong one, Hamilton shot in the sky instead of Burr.
